Chapter 626

One couldn't fake pure love toward another.

'Kenneth' also seemed to realize that he was giving the game away and quickly turned his attention

back to Alexander.

"Everyone is in the know, so I won't bother beating around the bush. Mr. Griffith, I know what you're

worried about, and I also understand Miss Sinclair's concerns. I have said it before and I will say it

again: I have no intention of making her uncomfortable, nor do I intend to violate her when my

affections aren't returned. So, I don't think there's a need for you guys to distance yourself from me.''

While he was talking, Elise was motionless like a cheetah in an ambush, engrossed and ready to make

a fatal strike at her prey.

Alexander paused for a while when he heard this. Then, finally, he put down the wine glass in his hand,

leaned against the seat behind him, folded his legs, and said with a smirk. "I hope Mr. Bailey

understands one thing—my wife is very outstanding. I imagine that, just like you, many silently choose

to become an unknown knight by her side, even though I am one of them. But my wife has the final say

on whether or not you can become an official knight that stands by her side. Other than that, the rest

will be just purely harassment."

"I didn't intend to harass your lives," the so-called 'Kenneth' said dispassionately.

"But you've already made things difficult for us." Alexander pressed forward. "I have done some

investigation on you, Mr. Bailey. And, truth to be told, we don't quite agree with some of your methods. I

have to say, though; I believe it's true that birds of a feather flock together, and we're unquestionably

not alike. So, I think it's better to make things clear when it comes to some aspects of our lives."

"Do you mean you would want to stop the cooperation with Smith Co.?" 'Kenneth' looked at Elise

thoughtfully again. "Is this what Miss Sinclair wants too?"

Alexander was also silent, calmly waiting for her answer.

Of course, he didn't want her to cut off contact with Smith Co., since the company would solve most of

her troubles.

He had joined forces with Johnny to act out this scene because he understood how her mind worked.

Since she came up with the idea of asking him and Kenneth to solve each other's problems, this

meeting was inevitable.

The second reason was that Alexander wanted to take this opportunity to positively confirm Elise's

attitude and whether she could accept the organization of Smith Co. and the unruly Kenneth.

He had been wandering around her with two identities and genuinely felt guilt-ridden. He wanted to tell

her everything, but he was afraid that she would be disgusted by his unscrupulous actions.

Alexander's hand hidden under the table was secretly clenched into a fist, and he started to feel a little

impatient.

However, Elise was thinking of something else.

She clearly had an appointment with Kenneth, but this one in front of her was a fake.

Was this Kenneth's arrangement, or did those people also use a fake mask, kidnapped the real

Kenneth, and used a fake one to confuse her?

No matter which one it was, she had to first confirm the other party's identity.

Fortunately, she had tried on Jacob's human-like skin mask before, and she knew exactly how she

could pull off the mask as quickly as possible.

She completely ignored the conversation between Alexander and the fake Kenneth just now. Then, she

stood up without warning and walked around the table's edge toward Kenneth the next second.

As she walked, she recalled, "Kenneth, do you remember when we were in Landred City, you got

stabbed in the alley because of me and almost died?"

The fake Kenneth's eyes looked around and while she was not paying attention, he hurriedly signaled

to Alexander for help.

Alexander slowly shook his head. He was injured because he broke into the underground organization

alone, not in an alley.

However, he could not express these words directly to Johnny. Only Melody was accompanying him in

Landred City at the time, and Johnny did not know the details of what had happened.

After thinking about it, 'Kenneth' can only say, "Sorry, there have been too many things going on in

Smith Co. recently. I don't remember the details of what happened so long ago."

These remarks were ambiguous enough that she could not catch him red-handed as he didn't confirm

nor deny the statement.

Yet, they never would have thought that this was just her first attempt at prodding him for the truth.

When Johnny and Alexander made eye contact, she had already walked behind the fake Kenneth.

Then, she quickly took out a silver needle coated in paralytic, and as soon as he finished speaking, she

stuck the needle in his neck. As a result, 'Kenneth' was almost instantly paralyzed.

Alexander stood up instinctively and wanted to stop her, but he was still a step too late. In just a few

seconds, she took off the pretender's mask.

"Johnny?" She recognized the man immediately. "Why are you here? Where's Kenneth?"

She was almost certain that this was Kenneth's arrangement.

As expected, he did not dare to come.

Elise immediately turned to look at the other side of the table. When she saw that Alexander had stood

up agitatedly, her anxiety-fueled suspicion returned; it was stronger than before.

A table had only separated them, but she felt terrified.

The anesthetic on the needle had taken effect and Johnny couldn't move half of his body, so he could

turn his neck stiffly and came up with an excuse on the fly. "Miss Sinclair, don't get me wrong. As I said

just now, the company is currently very hectic during this time, and Mr. Bailey can't leave, but he didn't

want to break his promise with you. So, that's why he came up with this idea."

"Hmph." Elise sneered mockingly. "Busy? That's usually not the case, though. He visits me at school

every few days. But when I truly need him, he's suddenly a coward?"

Johnny looked embarrassed and was stumped for explanations.

"He's just an employee, so there's no need to make things difficult for him. Just let him send a message

to Kenneth," Alexander interjected.

She pursed her lips tightly and remained silent without expressing her position.

However, Johnny was a little dissatisfied with this outcome, so while he still could do so, he asked in

amusement, "Miss Sinclair, can you at least tell me what gave me away?"

Elise looked over at him coldly. "Your eyes are very similar, but they don't look natural, and your tone is

exactly the same as Kenneth's, but there are still some tonal differences."

Johnny smiled and laughed at himself. "I'm not a professional actor. However, I must say I'm quite

satisfied with my performance. I must admit that I am surprised that you understand my boss so well

that you can even tell the truth with just one look. It seems that my boss has a shot after all."

As soon as he finished saying this, the whole room fell silent.

Elise's eyes widened in shock as this was something she didn't even realize, so Johnny's words had

caught her off guard.

Since when did she take notice of Kenneth's every move?

She actually paid attention to a man that wasn't Alexander?

She had constantly been escaping from the truth, but reality had finally slapped her across the face.

Alexander didn't expect Johnny to make such an ingenious move, but when he looked at Elise's

disconcerted expression, his whole heart felt like it was being twisted and he felt suffocated.

His Elise finally fell in love with his other identity. He was happy, but he began to feel afraid.

Her heart accepted Kenneth, but would her pragmatism accept the other side of him?
